Emmsy's weebles continue to grow.. Onwards & upwards

jools click on barbie1

Still no news ??

I've been training since 9am - just sat down to let the second trainer take over for the rest of the day - absolutely shattered !! Am ovulating now - just checked and I'd got my CD's wrong - CD15 today, so another clockwork cycle - quite a painful ov though and I've bloated up like a balloon.

Feel so much better since talking to the GP, even though nothing has been done yet

Oh, DP is fine today - better than fine in fact as he is far less stressed and a nicer person after a seizure - kind of like blowing a fuse and releasing lots of pressure Hopefully that will bode well for TTC

Barbie your poor MIL That sounds horrific. Where are your scan pics ? I wanna play guess the flavour !

I'm laughing at the allegation that Mermaid is a troll living under a bridge Come out, come out wherever you are - hope all is OK

Sorry to hear your news Neeko - it is sad and hard to come to terms with, expected or not.

Welcome back MLS

Happy Monday to everyone else

Hi Mermaid

Yay for 4ever

I has booked viability scan now for 7th Dec... When I will be 7 + 6 - so 2 weeks to go...

sorry I have been awol -

1. 4ever is fine and all is well with little bean

1. buddha very excited about one of the original emmsys about to/has popped a graduate thinking of you all heaps.

1. neeko a sad and hard time but hopefully a life well lived.x

1. annie frustrating but worth the suspense thinking of you heaps.

5.jools a huge hug and big shiny star is winging its way to you and to dp. A sad place and a no fun place and we are going to all party into the new year and make it a much better one. x

1. running out of time - barbie bloody cold under this bridge melt at scan photo and hope you are not doing too much and what a bump you have, I sneeked a look.

1. hope all our northern ladies blue vjay are ok in this awful weather keep warm and cosy.x vjaythis cold is the pits.

so moon take heart cos I remember the 100 day cycle - it wnet on a looooong time!

I have to go out I may be gone some time

Ok back off the school run...
barbie I put Ajay in a moses basket, and he's still in it now. I don't think he'll be in it for much longer though as he's quite big As for the sex of your baba I wouldn't like to say as you're the mystic one around here . When we had our 2D scan with Ajay the lady scanned between his legs and we saw eveything very clearly.
As for you saying that you hope mermaid is under a bridge, I thought you were calling here a troll

Now I will be refreshing for news from blue 4ever buddha and annie, inbetween feeding and getting the tea ready etc...

mermaid i hope you are NOT under some bridge!!!!!

Finally got some time to myself so i can sit and induldge in a little mumnetting for a while

Still no news from buddha i think she is still in the hospital, ill keep checking fb as im sure her dh will update as soon as anything happens, ill keep you posted!

jools poor dp, i hope he is better now, what a bummer of a time for you to go away i have everything crossed that you ovulate late and will be having a fab start to 2010, which also goes for baking as well. Sounds like things are a little clearer for you since your appt. I hope you manage to put it all behind you and see the new year in with a bang

bluemoon i cried tears of frustration for you, having had a cycle that went on for 100 plus days i know what a head f**k it can be....its almost a relief when af arrive because at least you have some kind of outcome. Fingers crossed that like the other girlies on here, you have had a long cycle and will fall in the next one

annie ive been looking to see if you were on fb chat but it seems quiet your end are you in hospital yet??? have you instructed dh to update here or on fb? I hve told my dh all my passwords so he will come on here and update as soon as anything happens to me ignore him if he tries to flirt or is crude....ha ha

neeko poor dh, hope he is bearing up...im sure you will be coming to good news on the thread, take it easy this week...oh and pregnancy brain is getting worse, i left the iron on over night and all day ...

mermaid i hope you are under some bridge...seems everywhere is flooded and causing the westcountry to come to a stand still....and there's me stupidly excited yesterday, dancing barefoot in the garden with the dog because there was a 10 min period of rain

vjay thanks for the comment re scan, what do you think it is???? im getting impatient to know now! I have watched the video about 10 times, and im sure i can see something between the legs, but on googling 4d scan pics all babys have a bulge most people think it looks pretty so its a girl but they have only seen the one pic as they arent as privaledged as you girls hope babyvjay is being a good boy for mummy. Quick question, do you put him in a cot at night or moses basket???? im going to be a hopeless mummy, i really have no idea

blue and 4ever how did the scan go ladies...updates pls!

cupcake how many weeks now??? glad the creative writting is goin well, im just getting into another jodi picot book, the one where the little girl talks to god...cant remember the name but its ok so far....any more thought on your book, ill sell you the rights to my hap hazard life if you want

iggy are you remembering to breathe in all that sand???

lbm are you believing its real yet???

I have forgotten people and im so very sorry, i have to make a move as mil is in court today facing the bastard evil man who glassed her eye and made her lose her sight im hoping i can get to talk to her during the recess....

Take care
love B xxx

Ah Blue you had me going about December ladies I thought you meant one of ours and buddha had announced on facebook or something.. sooooo exciting that she might be gazing at her LO right now (or crying about painful nipples, one of the two!!)

Neeko so sorry about your sad news that is horrible. But amazing your dh got to feel baby...I told my dh that and he straight away put his hand on my tummy and said 'I want to too!' (I'm sure I felt two tiny flutters at the weekend by the way..but my Mum says it's too early, pah.)

LBM Wow, I love your dd's name it is lovely... I forgot to mention Jude by the way...another name I love for a boy but dh hates.

Blue hope your dinner with dh was lovely- you made me well up a bit with your declaration of love. I totally feel the same about my dh he has been so sweet and accomodating about everything & I would be a quivering wreck without him.. hooray for Emmsy dh/dps

Hi Iggy I'm ok thanks really enjoying the writing course and it's inspiring me for the book which is really cool.

Jools hope the training goes well.

Moon so sorry about af but I'm so glad you feel a little better. A Christmas BFP would be perfect and I'll join Vjay in the wishing for that

Baking so glad you have a PLAN and really hope the new year brings a fresh new start for you.
I've probably already said this on here but recently I keep looking at the pics we took on NYE last year...we were away at a cottage in mid-Wales with our best friends and had fireworks and glasses of bucks fizz outside and I just look so happy and carefree in the pics. That girl had no idea 2009 was going to be a horrible dark year. So this year I'll be going into the new year with a lot of apprehension and let's hope it turns out to be a brilliant one for all of us. (Sorry that was a bit speech-y wasn't it! I'm going to go eat a refrigerated Mars bar now a la Blue.)

barbie have just seen your scan pictures, they are brilliant, so clear and so cute.

Right I'm off on the school run now, I hope to see some news when I get back

oooohhh im so excited for buddha and annie

sorry about your dh grandpa neeko gid hugs to you and your dh xxx

neeko so sorry for your sad news,

buddha and annie I'm on pins here waiting for news, sooo exciting

4ever and blue how have your scans gone? Let us know, I'm lurking all afternoon waiting for news

Still full of the crappy cold so had to miss my post natal swim again! Will hopefully be fit and well and back to it next week.

Right off to do my tesco shop, online ofcourse.

Hi all. Just a quick post. My DH's grandpa passed away last night . Not entirely unexpected but no less painful. I'll be lurking this week but won't post much due to family commitments. Thinking of you all and hoping for baby and scan news to make me smile. Take care all.

jools lets hope you ov late this month. Must be such a worry when your DP is ill.

moon at least AF is finally here so you know where you are. Glad you felling better.

buddha so exciting!!

annie also getting v. excited for you!

MLS is nice to hear from you too - how are you?

4ever thinking of you for scan.

baking shame the consultant was not good - but new year, new start sounds good. is what i was planning on doing.

neeko I have never heard of the bear hunt - but sounds good!

cupcake hope you getting on ok? How is the writing?

mermaid I am enjoying the sand/ seashells - hope you not too cold by the sea

Also waves to vjay sabs lbm blue and everyone else!

Hello MLS-how are you today my lovely?
No news from me today im afraid, still getting plenty of BH, and had a bit of a show when i went to the loo just now, so hopefully babs may decide to put in an appearance sometime in the next week or so. Im 39 weeks tomorrow.

Buddha-Hope things going well and youve got your baby in your arms now.

Thinking of you at your scan today 4ever

Im just off to lurk around MN, do some online Chrimbo shopping while bouncing on my ball and drinking RLT.Laters.

Just wanted to pop in to say thinking of you Buddha, hopefully the worst of it is over now & you are gazing at your new baby.

Annie same for you too, any more news?

Go Buddha go!! Yeyy, so exciting

4ever-Will be thinking of you tomorrow at your scan, big hugs.

Neeko Glad you enjoyed the Bear Hunt, Its DS favourite story, i love it too, know it word for word! Well done for being almost complete on your Christmas shopping too.

Moon-Sorry AF got you, but at least you know where you are now and keeping everything crossed for next month for you.

VJay Hope your cold goes soon.

Jools-What a fright with your poor DP, hope he feeling better now.

BQ-Thinking of you hun, hope you ok.

Big waves to everyone else.

Yesterday morning woke up at 4am with desperate need to get to loo, had really bad diarrhea (sorry for TMI), when i got back into bed i started dozing then woke up with what i thought were stomach cramps, then realized they were contractions. I was up and down for the next 3 or so hours, couldnt get comfy, was restless etc. Had contractions all over the place which were mainly in my back, all day. By 6ish contractions were coming every 10 mins, stared timing them then and had 4 lots, was thinking of ringing hospital to see when they wanted me in, as i,ll need IV antibiotics as was Group B Strep positive last pregnancy, they started tailing off then, by 9pm stopped completely. To say i was gutted is and understatement, id been in mild to moderate pain for over 17 hours, for nothing. Today had a few BH, but nothing else. Im going to step up the RLT and start eating pineapple tomorrow, and call on the services of DH .

Yay for buddha & imminent arrival of our 4th graduate! How very exciting! Will post properly tomorrow after scan, im wobbly as per usual! Will be lurking for news! X

I don't know. I disappear from MN for one day and Buddha tries to sneak her LO out!!! So excite for you. Hope you are right now cuddling your LO with all signs of SPD gone. That was some way to keep your DH at home!

Annie You've gone all quiet, Hope it's because your baby boy is on his way.

Blue tick tock, tock tock... Who's up next on the baby-making clock?

Moon relieved that you now know where you stand but wish it had been the opposite result. My BFP came the cycle after my Neekothestrage (as Cupcake dubbed it) ridiculously long cycle, so fingers crossed.

Jools that must have been a worry bout your DP. Glad all ok and hope the adrenelin delays ovulation by a day

Bakingqueen Glad you're feeling a little more settled. Enjoy a couple of cycles without the TTC pressure and the weightloss that the med will bring. I predict that in the New Year you'll put all the weight back on for the best of reasons.

Just wanted to say to all the smallpanters that I know the thread has been very baby baby recently. i hope it won't stop you from saying how you're feeling and allowing everyone to help you through. Sometimes just saying I feel crap made me feel better on dark days and I'd hate to think that anyone was put off from doing that. (Ramble over )

The Bear Hunt was fab yesterday and DH managed to walk the legs off us whilst he got his B'day present . Did some more Christmas shopping today so only 3 more presents to buy (Apart from DH's)and I'm waiting for Boots' next points event to get them. Hurrah - the end is in sight! Also checked on what we've got for DD. Think I'll have to hide my cards or we'll need to move to a bigger house Everything is just so buyable!

Hope everyone else is ok.

Oh, and mission seduction failed for me this morning cos of DP being ill unless I ov late, that's me out of the running as it is CD12 today and I'm not back till CD15. Hmm - actually that might work if he is pleased to see me back .....

Thinking of you too Moon At least you know where you are now. You never know, perhaps something was happening but it didn't quite work out - could mean you are uber fertile for that Christmas BFP

Just downloading the last episode of Spooks that I missed so I can watch it on the train on my new toy. Off to pack - "see" you all later.

Oooh buddha push girl push. I'm so excited

Hiya jools glad your dp is ok now, must have been a huge shock and worry for you.

moon so sorry af has arrived, thought you were in this month, but atleast you are feeling better now, it is all down to the bloody hormones. You might get a nice Christmas bfp like I did last year, I'm going to wish that just for you

I've now got this bloody cold that ds1 and dh have had, just hope Ajay doesn't get it.

Keep pushing buddha

Oooh how exciting Buddha LO must be desperate to meet you - and knows that you have stuff planned for next week ! (boo to missing the workshop with the knitted breasts !)

I'm off to Wales for work in a couple of hours but will lurk via my ipod touch if I can get a connection - waiting anxiously for some good news from you AND Annie

Stressful day here as DP (who has epilepsy) had his first seizure in months this morning All dealt with and he has recovered well - I think it was brought on my him having a heavy cold so his defences are low. it always gets the adrenalin pumping though and leaves me weak and wobbly afterwards ...

I'm not home till Wed evening as I am running a 3 day training course, but will try to keep in touch

I hope all impending labours are swift and pain free

Hi girls just some quick news buddha waters broke early this morning she is in hospital being monitored....no need for c section so they are preparing for a natural birth...in her own words she is 'shitting herself!" come on pushhhhhhh
